T-duality of emergent gravities on nilmanifolds

We study the transport of generalized metrics between topological T-dual nilmanifolds through a Lie algebraic point of view. Emergent gravities are generalized metrics with symplectic B-fields. But this additional property might not be preserved by the aforementioned transport. We describe a necessary condition for it to happen and provide working examples on self-T-dual nilmanifolds with zero $H$-flux in both 4 and 6 dimensions. We also discuss how this procedure fails in the presence of a non-zero $H$-flux.
